Startup Business Showcase : StackJobs

StackJobs is a brand new IT job board dedicated to connecting jobseeking IT professionals with companies looking to hire. We enable jobseekers to search and apply for jobs across all IT skills and industries throughout the United Kingdom and we give employers and recruiters the ability to find the most skilled candidates.

How are you different?

Two things differentiate us from the rest: 1) A job posting service that is free of any charge forever, and 2) a free company profile page that is tailored and branded specifically for each company.

Furthermore, despite the fact that StackJobs lists vacancies in the UK, we also attract the best developers from Central Europe. Through lasting relationships with tech universities and career fairs in Poland, Czech Republic and Slovakia, StackJobs has built up a strong presence.

Why will the company / product do well?

It is estimated that 2 million tech jobs will be created all over Europe in the next 10 years. We want to take our slice of this historical growth. What will allow us to succeed is our team of success-oriented and passionate people, all of whom are experts not only in their fields but also in tech recruitment specifically. To top it all off, our unique product is elegant and convenient to use.

The company was founded in April 2016. The minimum viable product of StackJobs was released in May 2016. However, we are continuously improving the functionality of our product, and are working towards many more great milestones on our roadmap.

What have been your biggest wins to date?

Our biggest wins to date are 1) our constantly growing popularity and 2) great clients who have decided to recruit with StackJobs. Some recognizable brands that have already come on-board are Checkout.com, Skyscanner, viagogo and Infosys.

What type of people (market segment) are you trying to attract to your product?

We would like to attract all tech professionals, from software developers to project managers to web designers, and all of the employers who are in need of new tech talent.

Tell us about your team?

Our team consists of 4 young professionals: 2 developers, 1 designer and 1 account manager. We are not only colleagues, but also friends to hang out with after work. However, we are actively looking to grow our team substantially as well.

What are you long term plans for your product / company?

Our goal at StackJobs is to become the best tech job board in the UK. We want to further develop our product and implement new functionalities like employer reviews, automated candidate matching and measuring of programming language popularities. At the same time we aim to rapidly expand our client base and site traffic.

What are your favourite tech gadgets?

Laptops and iPhones cover all our needs and we love using apps that increase our productivity at work and keep us linked up at all times.
